Cloud Security and Compliance

Course Overview

The Cloud Security and Compliance course builds on the topics introduced in Cloud Computing and Software-as-a Service (SaaS). While the Cloud Computing and SaaS course approaches solution development from the perspective of an individual contributor, the Cloud Security and Compliance course approaches solution design from the perspective of IT or other professionals responsible for maintaining, enforcing, and auditing common policies and standards across an organisation. The course presents concepts and the technology required to enforce policies across applications, documents, and data created by others. The course will provide a hands-on opportunity for participants to explore different cloud computing platforms and services and to enhance the participant's proficiency and confidence in being able to manage and audit cloud-based resources to support specific needs within an organisation. This course will cover topics related to cloud security, privacy, and provisioning.
